TOY AEROPLANE.

Application filed March 17, 1923. Serial No. 625,741.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, SAMUEL S. Morsnvn and Josnrrr S. Morsnvn, both subjects of Russia, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Iniprovements in Toy Aeroplanes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates'to toy aeroplanes and the objects are first, to provide an aeroplane that may be mounted on theradiator cap of an automobile, or other moving-obj ect; second, to provide a toy aeroplane that will elevate and lower itself on a centerpole by theveloc-ity of air passing the propeller and elevator thereof.

Further objects are to provide a toy aeroplane that is simple in construction and easy to install.

We attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of the aeroplane, in part section on line 1-1 of Figure 2.

Figure 2 represents'a plan view of Fig ure 1. I

Figure 3 represents a sectional view on line 33 of Figure 1'.

Referring to the drawings in which like characters of reference designate similar parts. the port and starboard sides of the aeroplane are formed by the sides 1, which are separated by the blocks 11 and positioned in the respective front and rear ends thereof. and a block 9 is secured between the said sides 1 at a point between the blocks 11 and 10 so as to form the tapered front and rear portions of the said fuselage with the customary general aeroplane lines. The slot 26 passes vertically through the central portion of the block 9. having tapered ends extending longitudinally towards the front and rear ends of the said block 9, beginning with a relatively small hole at the central point positioned between the bottom and top ends of the said slot 26.

The wing 2 is formed with the usual lines of an aeroplane and is secured to the central portion of the fuselage 1, between the nose and tail portions thereof, at right angles to the longitudinal line of the said fuselage, and anextension of the said slot 26 passes therethrough in line with the slot 26 in the block 9. The pole 6 passes operatively through the said slot 26 and is secured to a movable base 32, and the springs 7 and 8 are secured to the lower and upper ends of the said pole 6 respectively. A frame 13 is secured in the front end of the fuselage 1 between the blocks 9 and 10, the shaft 12 passes operatively through the said block 10 longitudinally with the said fuselage 1, and is operatively held in one end of the frame 13. a propeller 5 is secured to the outer end of the shaft 12, and a pinion is in turn secured to the inner end thereof, a shaft 17 is operatively positioned in the said frame 13 in line with the said shaft 12 a distance thereabove, a gear 14 is secured on the shaft 17 in mesh with the pinion 15 and a crankshaft operatively secured in the frame 13, at right angles'to the said shaft 17 a distance thereunden and the crank is integral-with one side of the said crank shaft 20, the worm 18 is secured to the shaft 17 and the worm wheel 19 is secured to the crankshaft 20 in mesh with the said worm 28 passes through the front end portion of the said connecting rod 21. and the said crank 30 passes operatively through the said slot 28.

The rudder 3 is secured vertically on the upper face of the said block 11, and extends longitudinally with the said fuselage 1. The elevator 4 is positioned operatively around the rear end of the said fuselage 1 on the hinge 24, the pin .23 is secured in the openiug 31 in line with. the slots 27, the said slots 27 pass through the rear end of the plates 2.), and the rear end of the connecting rod 21 is operatively connected to the said pin 23, by passing through an opening 31 in the said plate 29, and the said hinge 24 is secured to the lower face of the said block 11. as shown in Figure 1.

To operate our toy aeroplane the base 32 is moved forward, and the rudder 3 turns the aeroplane in the direction of travel, and the velocity of air passing through the propeller 5 turns the said propeller 5, the shaft 12 and the/pinion 15, in the block 10 and frame 13, respectively, the said pinion 15 turns the gear 14, the shaft 17, the worm 18, the worm wheel 19,- the crank shaft. 20,
